Wang Dong had dinner on the way over, declined Nanijer's invitation, and waited patiently for him to finish dinner.

"How many people did you bring here?" Nanijel was obviously a very direct person, and the orderly asked while he was still putting away the dishes.

"There are only about 50 people who came with me, and even if they were sent before, there are about 300 people in total."

Nanijer frowned, obviously Wang Dong brought this bit of people is a drop in the bucket.

At this time, the orderly went out with the packed utensils.

"Of course, other personnel will arrive in the next few days."

"How many are there?"

"About five hundred, not more than six hundred."

"A reinforced battalion."

Wang Dong smiled reluctantly and said, "According to the arrangement, our task is to train government officers and soldiers, especially recruits, to provide command assistance during operations. ”

"Do you think we still have time for the recruits to finish their training?"

Wang Dong did not say anything, because on the way over, the accompanying government officer told him that Major General Nanigel was not an easy person to get along with.

Sitting in the position of the commander of the Nasiriyah garrison, no one will have a good temper.

"Just this afternoon, one of our posts was attacked, the enemy used tanks and combat vehicles, and aerial reconnaissance has proven to be the vanguard of the 'Holy Land Heroes' brigade, a reinforced mechanized infantry battalion. At this rate, the enemy will advance outside the city in three days. ”

Wang Dong frowned, he didn't receive this message.

Without waiting for Wang Dong to speak, Nanijer said again: "Behind this mechanized infantry battalion are six brigades, and the enemy's total strength is more than twenty-five thousand, perhaps close to thirty thousand, while we have less than ten thousand. Do you think that with a few hundred more men, you will be able to defend Nasiriyah? ”

"It's not the number of troops that determines the victory."

"Really?"

"In history, there are many examples of winning more with less, if ......"

"It is not the examples of war that can bring us victory!" Before Wang Dong could finish speaking, Nanijal said, "I know who you are, and I know your relationship with Razak, and even your relationship with the Saudi crown prince. I have enough reason to believe that you are a very powerful person, otherwise you would not have been able to get the weight of the Saudi crown prince. It's a pity that none of your relationships are useful here. To put it more bluntly, the rebels who are coming here will definitely not stop advancing just because you are the big red man in front of the Saudi crown prince. Now tell me, what do you think are the odds of us winning, and what are the means by which we can hold Nasiriyah? ”

"Time."

Nanijel was slightly stunned, and this time he didn't rudely interrupt Wang Dong's words.

"All we need now is time, as long as we can buy enough time, even if we don't end up holding Nasiriyah, we ......"

"How long?"

"A month."

Nanijer's brows jumped a few times, and he motioned for Wang Dong to continue.

"Maybe it won't be that long, half a month will be enough." Wang Dong paused slightly, and then said, "According to Crown Prince Mohammed's promise, the Arab League coalition forces will put in more troops in a month, and the supplies and equipment to the government army will also arrive in a month." If we can inflict heavy damage on the main rebel force here and make the rebels unable to advance, we will only need to hold out for fifteen days. ”

"So, how can we hold on for fifteen days to a month?"

"Morale and confidence."

"It's easy to say, but you know that after the fall of Semavo, no one believed that we could hold Nasiriyah. ”

'Obviously, we need a win.'

"Where's the victory?"

Wang Dong smiled faintly and said, "Didn't the general mention at the beginning that the vanguard of the rebels had already been killed?" ”

"That's a reinforced mechanized infantry battalion!"

"It's just a battalion, a piece of cake."

"Really?" Nanijel looked at Wang Dong in disbelief.

"If the general allows it, leave it to me."

"You?"

"I need a day with some necessary equipment, and it would be nice to be able to provide a few tanks."

Nanijel was secretly shocked and said: "You should know that I don't have much heavy equipment here, and there are less than twenty main battle tanks in total. ”

"Twenty-four, all M1A1SA."

Nanijel was slightly stunned and said, "I can arrange a tank platoon to assist you." ”

"Tanks will do."

"You ......"

"General, we have been in Saudi Arabia for several years." Wang Dong smiled and said, "One platoon, four tanks, and leave the rest to us." ”

"One day?"

"At this time tomorrow, I will personally report the results of the battle to the general."

Nanijal pondered for a moment before saying, "I believe you, and I believe that the Saudi crown prince will not look away." If you can do what you say and bring about a victory of sufficient magnitude, I will personally appoint you chief of staff, with you in full command of the defensive operations of Nasiriyah. ”

"General......

"That's my promise."

Wang Dong let out a long breath, got up and said, "It's my honor to be trusted by the general. Time is of the essence, so I will not delay any longer. ”

Nanijer said more, got up and sent Wang Dong out.

In fact, Wang Dong knew that Nani Gyer was not really going to hand over the command to him, but was using him, or the personnel he brought.

What about appointing Wang Dong as chief of staff?

Don't forget, Nanijal is the commander of the Nasiriyah garrison, and Wang Dong is just a mercenary sent by Saudi Arabia to work for money.

Won the battle, and Nanijal was the number one contributor.

When the time comes, who would have thought of Wang Dong?

From another point of view, even if Wang Dong and the others fail, Nanijer has nothing to lose.

Isn't it just four main battle tanks?

With the current situation in Nasiriyah, let alone leaving four tanks, even if forty more tanks are sent, the government army will definitely not be able to hold it.

In this case, throwing four tanks to Wang Dong may be able to get an unexpected return.

Of course, Wang Dong is not stupid.

The offer to deal with the rebel vanguard was not to gain Nanijal's favor, but to fight for the right to act independently.

According to the arrangement, Wang Dong is a military instructor and military adviser.

In other words, after coming to Nasiriyah, the operatives brought by Wang Dong will be dispersed and then sent to the grassroots troops of the garrison.

A few hundred operatives, not a lot at all.

If we take the battalion as a unit, on average, a battalion will be divided into a few dozen people.

This method of breaking up the whole into parts will not bring into play its combat effectiveness at all.

Only by organizing a team of several hundred operatives can they play a key role at critical moments and thus influence the situation on the battlefield.

For this reason, it is necessary to let Nanijal know the combat effectiveness of this team.
